I am having a little giveaway! These mini playsilks come from Dharma Trading Company and have been dyed with various colors of kool aid. I had gotten a package of the 11 x 11" silk handkerchiefs and found that 12 mini playsilks is really more than what we needed.
I would love to pass these on to a reader. There are six as shown, handkerchief size.
In our home they have been used a lot for "easter basket" play. I plan to use them instead of the colored plastic grass in my daughter's easter baskets too (that grass stuff is so messy). Leave a comment and I will have a random drawing, a very low tech random drawing, to choose the winner Sunday afternoon!

Hmmm...what are the odds of "1" being the chosen number?
Those are a great idea for Easter baskets! I just wrote a post about the living Easter baskets my kids and I made. I also dislike the plastic grass. Mini playsilks will be a pretty and soft alternative.
Those are beautiful. And yes, Easter grass is messy! I put it in this months sensory tub..EEK! I think silk scarves would look much better in Easter baskets anyways. Pick me! :)
cool! would love to line our easter basket with those too...fun lining and gift too. hope i win!
I think that's a great idea, to use these instead of that yucky fake grass! I would love to have these for my 4yo boy and 1yo girl. Thanks!
Those are so beautiful, and a great alternative to plastic grass. What a neat idea, thank you!
Yeah! I love your blog. I'm so happy you're having a giveaway! I have always wanted to try dyeing my own silks. I have a few of the larger silks from Sarah's silks and they didn't seem to last too long with my kids daily use of them. I definitely need to get more. These little silks would definitely be a great start. I think putting them in Easter baskets is a great idea too.
very cute. we don't have any play scarves yet, and this would be a great start! now i'm thinking we also need wooden eggs :O)
Super idea! Very kind of you to do a giveaway. After seeing Monday's post, I've been hoping to sneak away to get wooden eggs. Now I need to add kool-aid to the list!

What a lovely giveaway. Thank you these would be loved. I really like the new idea of using them in place of grass in the Easter basket.
Another idea for Easter "grass" is to use scraps from a paper shredder. Yes, it can be messy, but at the end of the day... into the compost pile it goes! :)
Lovely! Thanks for the chance.
Beautiful! I think my son would love these...
My daughter has started to like to tuck blankets and towels into the back of her shirt and be super hero. I was just thinking the other night that playsilks would be better 'cause they're not so heavy. We don't have any yet, but I've read about them here before and would love to give 'em a try!
We would LOVE these! I particularly like your photo w/ trees on your website (by the way)...
oh, lovely!
